Brace yourself....

Veteran's Day.  I gasped when I saw this painting....then I shed tears.



******************************************

The picture below took my breath away...  (read about it and see more pictures of it.... here )
 The Tower of London moat is filled with 888,246 handmade blood-red ceramic poppies in
honor of those that gave their lives in war.  take a minute and look at the link and the minute or so video.  also you can see a closeup of the individual flowers.  what you see in this picture is just a portion of the project.  They are leaving it up for 4 years.  Incredibly beautiful.  Poignant.  Heart wrenching.  Do take a couple of minutes and check it out.  Please.
